And grab a brew. You should be prepared to be in this for the long haul. When the first batch of tickets went on sale today (Friday 4th December), some fans spent over an hour glued to their computer screens – and in many cases didn’t get tickets. Maybe make in a big brew, in one of those weirdly massive Sports Direct mugs.

'Hello. It's me… I was wondering how much longer I need to wait in the queue for tickets..' #adele#adeletickets

You just KNOW that a half-forgotten celebrity, probably one with a murky past (Justin Lee Collins? Michael Barrymore?) will begin to trend on Twitter and you’ll have to click to find out if they’re dead or have eaten Declan Donnelly’s bunghole on a reality show. This is the exact moment when tickets will go on sale.

No, no, seriously, it’ll probably be fine. But it was reported that there was a security breach when some fans bought pre-sale ticket this Monday (November 30), as they were faced with credit card details and home addresses of other people. Be vigilant!

@BBCNewsEnts@Adele got through to buying tickets but it came up with someone else's screen with their card details & home address for SSE.

It’s easy to get Stockholm Syndrome here (because basically Adele is your captor, chaining you to your computer) and feel like your life will not be complete until you’ve recorded grainy footage of a woman from Tottenham moaning about her ex-boyfriend. But remember: it is only a concert. It’s not oxygen.
